The Games at Caltha
When you start the game and pick Valens you find yourself in Imperia fighting in some luegues or what have you. then you find that your tactics aren't working so well when you play. That's when you head over in to Caltha. Ya know the big Imperial stadium. Once there you can watch fights among other gladiators and watch to understand some new strategy tactics that will help in the future. Good Luck! Also for winning efficiently in the games outside of Caltha, i suggest any one who plays the game immediately hire a Murmillo (the fish people) for they have really strong abilities.

Fast Gold
In the beginning of the game it costs like 1000 to 3000 to recruit a new character....if you recruit someone go to the school list remove their armor and expel them you can usually sell their armor for anywhere from 9000 to 19000 making... well alot of gold if the process is repeated

Easy earned equipment
Ok first thing to do for this trick is to head to the beach when you are in Imperia. When on the beach toward the south just stand on the beach and press the "A" button. It may take some time to find some items but keep searching. these items you find on the beach can be sold for very high prices and may be equipped to your gladiator. Good luck!

Undead Legionaire Cash Machine!
After you get the ability to raise undead legionaires, raise strip and expel them over and over until you have stockpiled enough equipment to make your fortune. In imperia alone if you do this around ten times it's worth at least a 100,000 coins.
